Valve Cover/Oil Leak Question

The oil filter mount (on my XJ) had a 5/8" hex head bolt that holds it to the engine block. I had a little trouble getting the mid-sized o-ring from the kit on the filter mount, but I haven't noticed any more leaking from the filter mount since I replaced the o-rings a day ago. If the head of the bolt is different the o-ring kit might not work, but for my 89 the 3 o-rings from the dealer would have cost $15 instead of $5 for the pack of 12 o-rings from Napa (there are a bunch of extra rings).

Here is the procedure
